Clemson: LB Isaiah Simmons

Isaiah Simmons isn’t just another linebacker and fans of Gang Green shouldn’t be discouraged if Joe Douglas takes him despite the position not being the team’s most pressing need.

Simmons is the prototypical player for today’s NFL. He can go from rushing off the edge to off-ball to the slot and deep safety with ease. His sideline to sideline speed is ridiculous, and Simmons has the talent to be a star for years to come.

When thinking of Simmons, think of former Seattle Seahawk Kam Chancellor without the deep coverage skills. Simmons is the Swiss army knife of the defense and can excel whether he is stalking the quarterback at the line of scrimmage or covering someone like Julian Edelman in the slot.
